Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

Seemingly looser and jammier than some, with some great musical conversations.

Slick, efficient Garcia solo, plus some cool flourishes by the Godchauxs.

Perfectly phrased and chosen melody lines from Jerry. Another astonishing FOTD of the era.

The dynamics and attention to detail really impress. What a first set!

This is a great version for the year, which is to say -- unremarkable by '70-'73 standards but better than almost all versions to follow.

Could this be the best version of the year? It's possible! It's a generous, nearly spotless rendition that unfurls melody after melody.

11/2/77 and this have got to be the best consecutive versions of this tune played post-'74. Hot damn!
